Tell Me About Your Post Op Care?

[Skittle 26]

My after care is not as intense as some of the others.. My last pre op appt the surgeon scheduled appts for 6 weeks 3 months and 6 months.. I was only on liquids AND puréed for 2 weeks then able to have anything as long as I chewed really well. I will have a 1 year appt but that will be scheduled at the 6 mo appt. You may want to call and ask or even call a different surgeon and explain the situation.

I hope things go ok so that you don't need to go back to your surgeon but I'd be a little worried myself.

Wow, always some a-hole on these forums! Yes, I did research, but if I said No, what difference would that be? We are all on here seeking help and advice not to have our nose rubbed in what we did or didn't do. I checked him out and I still have questions. No matter how much anyone checks out their doctor it does not guarantee a smooth and complication free surgery.

SIGH...here we go. Actually, I asked you that because I may have some information for you that may be helpful because I am familiar with your surgeon.

What I find funny is that you initially "liked" my post at some point and I guess that's when your need to feel victimized set in and you decided to make it something it wasn't.

Where did I make any of the comments that you allude to in your response? In fact, your disproportionate response makes me think that YOU are the one who is insecure about the pre-surgical due diligence that you didn't do. Nonetheless, don't ATTEMPT to jump down someone's throat when they simply ask you a question because you end up looking like the fool, not them.

Good luck.

Wow I had my two week and four week appointments scheduled prior to surgery. Then after the month I will go back every 6 weeks until 1 year out. It's sad that your doctor did not do any scheduling for you prior to surgery. I would say give them a call to find out why this was done..

Wow...that's gonna seem like overkill after about 9 months.

I was released on a Thursday and my surgeon called me on Saturday to check on me. I called the office Monday to get my appt times for follow up care.
